Confucius traveled eastward and saw two children arguing. Ask why.
A child said, "I think the sun is close to the sky at sunrise and far from the sky at noon." . "
Another child thinks that the sun is far from the sun when it rises, and it is closer to people at noon.
A child said, "When the sun just came out, the hood of the car was as big as noon and the plate was as small as usual. Is this the reason why it is not far from the big one?" ? "
Another child said, "The sun just came out to cool down, and it was as hot as putting your hand in hot water at noon. Isn't that why you feel hot when you are near and cool when you are far away?" ? "
Hearing this, Confucius could not judge who was right or wrong.
The two children smiled and said to Confucius, "Who said you were smart?" ? "
Translation:
Confucius went to the East to study and saw two children arguing on the way. Confucius asked them why they argued.
A child said, "I think the sun is close to people when it first comes out, and far away from people at noon." Another child thinks that the sun is far away from people when it first comes out and close to people at noon.
The previous child said, "The sun was as big as a hood when it first came out, and it was like a bowl at noon. Isn't it far small and near big? "
Another child said, "It's cool as soon as the sun comes out, and it's hot when you put your hand into hot water at noon. Isn't it cool to be near hot and far hot? "
Hearing this, Confucius could not judge who was right and wrong. The two children smiled and said, "Who says you know much?"

Extended data
The artistic features of The Days of Two Children Debating are:
1. By describing two children arguing about the distance between the sun and people in the morning and at noon, it reflects the precious spirit of ancient people in China to explore natural phenomena, think independently, question boldly and pursue truth.
2. Why do the two children have different views? It is because they look at things from different angles: one vividly writes the size of the sun shape from a visual point of view; The other, starting from the sense of touch, wrote that it was scorching at noon.
These two children dare to explore difficult problems, no matter how naive and superficial, but they reflect the strong desire and spirit of the ancients for knowledge.

Confucius went to study in vassal states by bus. When he passed a village entrance, he saw two cowherd boys arguing about something. Confucius asked them why they were arguing. A little boy said, "I think the sun is close to people when it just rises, and far away from people at noon."
Another child thinks that the sun is far away from people when it first rises, and it is not far away from people until noon.
A little boy said, "When the sun first came out and rose, it looked like a round hood." At noon, it looks as big as a bowl. Isn't it small when it's far away and big when it's near? "
Another little boy said, "when the sun just came out, it felt cool." At noon, it feels as hot as putting your hand in hot water. Isn't it near hot and far cold? "
Confucius frowned and thought for a long time, unable to judge.
The two little boys said happily, "Everyone says that you are an all-knowing university expert, but even our children's questions can't be answered. What is this? "
It is incorrect to explain the distance between the ground and the sun according to different feelings.
Two children argued that the sun was far away from one child because it was cold in the morning and hot at noon. The other said that the sun was far away from noon in the morning, so the fact observation was established. How to explain this? What the hell is going on?
One view is that there are clouds on the surface of the earth in the morning, and the sun looks big through the clouds. At noon, when the clouds cleared, the sun looked small, but the size of the sun did not change.
There is also a view that the sun looks big because its height is different and its atmospheric refractive index is different. In the morning, the sun has a low altitude angle and a high refractive index.
Another view is that due to the illusion of the eyes, it seems that the sun in the morning is bigger than that at noon. The white figure we see is bigger than the black figure of the same size. This is called photodegradation in physics. When the sun rises, the surrounding sky is dark, so the sun appears bright, and at noon, the surrounding sky is bright. In contrast, the brightness difference between the sun and the background is not so big, which is why we look like the sun is bigger in the morning than at noon. In short, the sun is the same distance from us in the morning and at noon, so its size is the same.
Also, it is hotter at noon than in the morning, is it because the sun is closer to us at noon than in the morning? Not exactly. Why is this?
It is hotter at noon than in the morning because the sun shines directly on the ground at noon and obliquely on the ground in the morning. It can be seen that when the sun is in direct sunlight, the ground and the air receive more solar radiation heat at the same time and in the same area than when the sun is oblique in the morning, so they are heated the most. So it is hotter at noon than in the morning.
In fact, the hot and cold weather mainly depends on the temperature. The main factor affecting the temperature is determined by the radiation intensity of the sun, but solar photothermal is not the main reason for directly raising the temperature. Because the direct absorption of sunlight by air is only a small part of the total solar radiation, most of it is absorbed by the ground. After the ground absorbs the solar radiation heat, it is conducted upward to the air through radiation, convection and other heat transfer methods, which is the main reason for the temperature rise.
In short, it is not because the sun is far from our ground that it is hot at noon and cold in the morning every day.
The Journey to the West, who translated Japanese classical Chinese into Confucius, saw two children arguing and asked them why.
A child said, "I think the sun is close to the sky at sunrise and far from the sky at noon." . "
Another child thinks that the sun is far from the sun when it rises, and it is closer to people at noon.
A son said, "The sunrise is as big as a car cover. And Japan and China are like plates. Isn't it that the far is small and the near is big? "
Another child said, "The sun just came out to cool down, and it was as hot as putting your hand in hot water at noon. Isn't that why you feel hot when you are near and cool when you are far away?" ? "
Hearing this, Confucius could not judge who was right or wrong.
The two children smiled and said to Confucius, "Who said you were smart?" ? "
When Confucius traveled eastward, he saw two children quarreling and asked them why they quarreled.
A child said, "I think the sun is close to people at sunrise and far away from people at noon."
Another child thinks that the sun is far away from people when it first rises and close to people at noon.
A child said, "When the sun first came out and rose, it was as big as a hood." At noon, it is as big as a disk. Isn't it far, small and close? "
Another child said, "It was very cold when the sun first came out, and it was as hot as putting your hand in hot water at noon.". Isn't it near hot and far cold? "
Confucius can't decide. The two children smiled and said, "Who said you were well informed?"

When Confucius traveled eastward, he saw two children arguing and asked them why. A child said, "I think the sun is close to the sky at sunrise and far from the sky at noon." . "One son" is far away at the beginning of the day, and China and Japan are close. "A son said," When the sun rises, it is as big as a hood. At noon, it is like a plate: This is not for people far away, but for people near? "One son said," It's cool when the sun rises in the morning, just like exploring soup in its kidney. ④ Isn't it near hot and far cold? "Upon hearing this, Confucius could not judge who was right or wrong. The two children smiled and said, "Who is Zhihu? "

When Confucius traveled eastward, he saw two children quarreling and asked them why they quarreled. A child said, "I think the sun is very close to us when it just comes out of the mountain, and it is far away from us at noon." Another child said, "I think the sun is far away from us just after sunrise and close to us at noon." A child said, "The sun was as big as a hood when it first came out of the mountain, and as big as a small plate at noon. Isn't that something that looks small from a distance and looks big from a distance? " Another child said, "It was very cold when the sun first came out of the mountain, just like putting your hand in hot water at noon. It's not hot when it's near, and it's not cold when it's far away? " Confucius can't rule. The two children smiled and said, "Who said you were learned?"

Another child said, "I think the sun is far away from people when it first rises, and it is very close to people at noon."
The first child said, "When the sun first rose, it was as big as a hood. At noon, it looked like a plate. Isn't that why distant things look small and close? "
Another child said, "when the sun first came out, it felt very cold." At noon, it's as hot as putting your hand into hot water. Isn't this the truth that the closer you get, the hotter you get, and the farther you get, the colder you get? "
